Back in 2013, 40-year-old Steven Valencia, the well-known PUP activist from Cayo, was killed in a home invasion at his residence in Santa Elena Town. Well tonight, Jarod Lamb, and Marvin Neal, the men who police accused of the gruesome crime, are serving out a life sentence after they were convicted in a Supreme Court trial.
At around 9 p.m. on January 24th, 2013, Valencia was at his home with his 2 daughters, who were 4 years-old and 6-years-old at the time. Two men barged in by breaking open his backdoor, and they robbed him at gunpoint of a small amount of money in front of his children. But, instead of leaving after getting the cash, the assailants shot him to the upper back, the right foot and the right thigh. The entire incident unfolded in front of Valencia's children.
Well, after almost 6 years on remand, both Lamb and Neal were convicted of murder. They have been sentenced to life imprisonment with eligibility for parole in 30 years.
